Dvafoto Information

is two photojournalists, Matt Lutton and M. Scott Brauer, sharing their work and the news and pictures that they find interesting. We are two young editorial/documentary photographers trying to make a living and a mark on photojournalism, and we write from this perspective. We'll comment on the news, international or within the industry, from the seat of being Americans living abroad working in the media. The hellfire wrought on [traditional] photojournalism by the economy and the internet is a perennial topic. News photography as it is published rarely rises above the level of illustration, serving the written word. Photography at its best operates as its own document, both informing and being informed by an accompanying article. This sort of photography is being produced — often independently and at great cost to photographers — and with little outlet to the public at large.
